The animal wasn't going down without a fight

A Chinese live-streamer recently demonstrated to us all the dangers of attempting to eat a live octopus.

The woman from the Jiangsu city of Lianyungang is a lover of seafood and decided to demonstrate this affinity through an odd challenge involving devouring a cephalopod while it’s still alive. However, in this case, her meal wasn’t about to go down so easy.

In a video clip that has gone viral across the Chinese internet, the animal is seen latching on to the woman’s face and refusing to let go as she screams in terror. Desperately, she starts to try to pull the animal off, causing her lower eyelid to stretch to an alarming degree before the creature finally lets go.

Afterward, the woman is left to cry over the damage the octopus has done to her face.

On the bright side, in her previous videos, the woman, a streamer on Kuaishou, had been complaining about her lack of fame. Now, everyone knows her face.
